The Biobío River (sometimes called Bío Bío or Bio-Bio) is a very important river in Chile. It is the second longest river in the country. This amazing river starts high up in the Andes mountains. It begins in two beautiful places: Icalma Lake and Galletué Lagoon. From there, the Biobío River flows for about 380 kilometers (236 miles). Its long journey ends when it reaches the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Arauco.
